WARNING ‑ Risk of burns/frostbite due
to not maintaining a sufficient distance to
the air vents
Very hot or very cold air can flow from the air
vents.
This could result in burns or frostbite in the
immediate vicinity of the air vents.
#
Always ensure that all vehicle occupants
maintain a sufficient distance to the air
vents.
#
If necessary, redirect the airflow to
another area of the vehicle interior.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, there will
be an air duct or a heater with additional air noz‐
zles in the rear footwell on the left-hand side

DANGER Risk of fatal injury due to poi‐
sonous exhaust gases
If the tailpipe is blocked or sufficient ventila‐
tion is not possible, poisonous exhaust gases
such as carbon monoxide may enter the vehi‐
cle. This is the case in enclosed spaces or if
the vehicle gets stuck in snow, for example.
#
Always switch the stationary heater off
in enclosed spaces without an air
extraction systems, e.g. in garages.
#
Keep the tailpipe and the area around
the vehicle free from snow when the
engine or the stationary heater are run‐
ning.
#
Open a window on the windward side of
the vehicle to ensure an adequate sup‐
ply of fresh air.

WARNING Risk of fire due to hot station‐
ary heater components
When the stationary heater is switched on,
parts of the vehicle can become very hot, e.g.
the stationary heater exhaust system.
